Beautiful Ozarks

The cabin was secluded but with help not too far away since the owners live on the property up the hill. The cabin is cute as a button seemed to have just about everything you would need to stay other than food and your personal things. Look forward to coming back.

Slice of heaven

Our stay was wonderful. The peace and tranquility of this place allows you to decompress completely. The spirit of the Lord resides here. The horses were beautiful and even the snow that fell was like God dressing the trees. We can't wait to return! The owner stayed in contact throughout our stay and the caretaker Adam was very accommodating!

Great cabin getaway

My college buddies and I were looking for a cabin to stay in for our annual get together while we kayaked on the Current River, and this cabin was fantastic. The owners were very welcoming, and the cabin was very nice and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The owners, Lisa and Scott, went above and beyond to make sure we had a good trip and gave us recommendations on things to do and how to navigate around the area. We really enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful place to stay. The Ranch House was just like the pics on the website. I loved being able to bring my own food in and cook instead of eating out all the time. I will drive back.

The perfect cabin

We had a great week at the cabin. From the moment we checked in, the hosts were helpful and communication was great. It was clean and had everything we needed for our week-long stay. We enjoyed the extra space to relax after a day floating on the river. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials for the many meals we prepared. Bonus points for having hookups on property for the family that joined us, in their RV. We look forward to returning for future trips!

Peaceful Getaway

Cozy, clean, and great location. We stayed in the area to explore the many natural wonders and hiking spots. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 (plus 2 dogs). Loved having a washer/dryer. Lots of kitchen counter space. I like the separation of the toilet from the shower/sink area. We hope to return in the summer months for swimming/floating the nearby rivers and Rocky Falls!

Wonderful July 4th weekend

We spent 2 nights at the ranch house and it was perfect for our family of 3 and 2 dogs. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. They just opened an outpost for trail riders with a bar and nice outdoor area. The house contained all the essentials and was very comfortable. We did a float on Saturday and then an early trail ride with the owner Sunday before we left. My daughter loves horses so she was excited to see all the trail riders and their horses that stoped at the outpost! The location is still very quiet and the view of the stars at night was spectacular. We would definitely stay here again.

Just Far Enough from Town

Great place to stay. While off the beaten path, close enough to town, hiking, kayaking, floating, horseback riding, and so much more. This place was fantastic. Clean, had all the amenities you would need, fire pit and patio. It is very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the horses near by too. Definitely recommend and we will be back. The hosts were awesome and their story is pretty neat how they developed the ranch area to be shared with other. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

Mini getaway

We love this area of MO. The cabin is off the beaten path which is super nice! And close enough to everything and everywhere we wanted to go. We don' t own horses but if you do, there are stalls right at the cabin. Peaceful and quiet. And spotty internet, which is helpful when one is escaping from work ( a perfect excuse to unplug!) Enjoyed this section in God's country!

Ranch house at the ranch

Its not secluded!! the bar is right accross property, just turn around you'd see and hear it. The residents are in the same location, you will see people, horses, dogs. If you don't mind that is the spot. There's several horse stalls that house horses for events and what not. Smells of poops all day. We were out all day long so it didn't matter. Its fun if you are not there to be alone!!

Modern Cabin in Consevation Area Under Dark Skies

Just what we were looking for, just 10 minutes from Eminence. Nicely equipped and comfortable cabin. Great for astronomy, especially when exterior lights on the two nearby cabins are turned off. Native wildflowers along the roadsides enhance walks, and shallow streams provide moisture for butterflies. Very pleasant and relaxing to sit outside or stroll nearby; we didn't feel the need to go anywhere else during our stay -- unusual for us.
